About Edgar Winter

The brother of guitar legend Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter shared his sibling's love of the blues, but he never let that limit his musical world view. Edgar scored a massive hit single with "Frankenstein," an instrumental from 1972's They Only Come Out at Night that became his signature, and he was just at adept at jazz, funk, R&B, and progressive rock accents on LPs like Entrance (1970) and Edgar Winter's White Trash (1971). He rocked the blues with his brother on 1976's Together – Live, and explored smooth jazz on Mission Earth (1986) and Jazzin' the Blues (2004). Edgar's time as a major star was relatively short, but his estimable instrumental skills made him a valued sideman, and he always had a loyal fan following for projects like the R&B-influenced rock of Rebel Road (2008) and his tribute to his late sibling, Brother Johnny (2022).
